WHERE DID VAN GOGH GO?

He went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Who did he see? He saw the children of Gan Daled who were there celebrating the culmination of their kindergarten art program.

The art program introduces our children to the works of famous artists and their lives. The students learn about each artists style, subjects and medium. The young artists are then given an opportunity to express themselves through projects in the style of that artist.

Some of the artists that we studied this year include: Rembrandt, Piet Mondrian, Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall and Georgia O'Keeffe. The children were very excited to see the actual works that they had learned about during the year. Passersby in the museum were amazed at the knowledge exhibited by our children.

Our trip ended with "Tuesday Afternoon in the Park". All around, it was a picture perfect day.

REFLECTIONS ON MONET

The Bridge at Giverney

Gan Daled learned about the Impressionist painter, Claude Monet. His style of painting received its name from his famous painting Impression:Sunrise.

Ryan, Ally, and Brian and their "masterpieces"

Monet loved to paint reflections. The children emulated his style as they painted scenes with water and reflections. They used both water colors and tempera paint to achieve this effect. The resulting "masterpieces" were very impressive and worthy of hanging in any art gallery.

Reflecting On Monet

Gan Daled learned about the Impressionist painter, Claude Monet. His style of painting received its name from his famous painting, Impression:Sunrise.

Monet loved to paint reflections. The children talked about reflections and discovered they could see their own reflections right in our room - in our mirror.

The class was fascinated to learn that Monet's studio was on a boat giving him the ability to travel on the river and paint.

Gan Daled's Monet paintings are worthy of hanging in any gallery.
